LAN not working in AMILO1437G:network cable is not connected

[meruxo]

I have a home network which I just use so all computers can access the internet. The AMILO 1437G worked for three months, but a day, one week ago, it seems do not work anymore.

It says that the NETWORK CABLE IS NOT CONNECTED. It is connected, and I checked the IP addresses, Gateway, DNS, the firewall settings, ALSO I reinstalled the WINDOWS XP and drivers, etc. and it still does not work. The router lights are showing that it is NOT physically connected. Is there any other reason why WINDOWS XP might think that there is no network cable connected?

I trIed to change the network cable and the router, but the message is the same: NETWORK CABLE IS NOT CONNECTED.

Any other idea to check ? Or is it a hardware problem?

Thank you

Look to the network socket in you laptop if any of the connectors isn't broken or bent. The same applies for router - if your router have multiple sockets, try connecting cable to another one.
